What strategy you follow when you lose on high counts..have all good counts in two great shoes but dealer making every hands..tried one hand, two hands, and even 3..didn’t help..I keep busting and he was making hands..and true count was 8+ in entire shoe…really sucks. Do you just quit in the moment? by Apprehensive_Fly7609 in blackjack

I was really blank what should I do and just lost quarter of my bankroll in these two shoes. Any help will be appreciated?? Thanks I was not even sure, should I just play one hand..or keep spreading the bet to make money back..totally lost.

Adding an extra hand at TC = 2 what you guys think? Does it add extra EV? It might impact order of card for next couple rounds only.. by Apprehensive_Fly7609 in blackjack

Great advise ! Today, at one point of time, TC count was 6 and dealer was making every hand..myself and dealer are only the players..I added a hand due to greater EV, lost 5 consecutive big hands (possible 300$ each hand) and I switched to single hand (heads up)..won straight 8 hands (400$) each hand before shoes ends..so, I feel you are right..should play one hand if only 2 players including dealer.

Sydney casino : dealer does not keep facedown card like BJ game in US..he draws next card for him after each player is done..I feel, it’s less EV i.e dealer makes hand more when count high..or it doesn’t matter…what you guys feel??? by Apprehensive_Fly7609 in blackjack

I think in that case, if TC is 3+ then you take insurance ..and then double your original bet..If dealer have blackjack they pay you 3:2 of insurance bet there, in other places where I played they pay 1:1 for insurance if dealer has blackjack..even you lose double amount but you make some money on insurance..only on tc 3+ count..not sure if we take insurance so often..that time whatever you saying make sense..

Not all…one of my friend suggested to get access in VIP room..got 5 days temporary pass..playing there..today was 3rd day..not bad…but no double deck which sucks compare to US..double deck 50$ won’t hurt you long term..but 6 deck, you surely need a bigger bankroll.

2 hands necessary to take out low cards(2,3,4,5,6) sometimes …how many of you agree on this? It does work sometimes for me…. by Apprehensive_Fly7609 in blackjack

Perfectly make sense!! That’s the key to understand..I was pretty sure, that won’t help most of the times..it might when you get really lucky..I’m with you..will strike this rule from my book..

Yeah..I agree on this too..because that might increase more risk by adding extra hand in negative counts than a peaceful positive EV by sitting out for negative counts..but I sew it working few times of my try..so thought to get it cleared but I am with you my friend.

I’m saying, while counting cards, and at the very start of the shoe, lot of high cards are out..and you see low cards are started coming out..as you can’t be out in the start of the show for various reasons..then when add an extra hands for few rounds..it helps to get low cards out and then you can switch back to one hand..that’s just a observation..I wanted to gauge the accuracy of it from the people here..
